| Reverse lettering | 50 Eu preparo uma canção em que minha mãe se reconheça, todas as mães se reconheçam, e que fale como dois olhos. Caminho por uma rua que passa em muitos países. Se não me vêem, eu vejo e saúdo velhos amigos. Eu distribuo um segredo como quem ama ou sorri. No jeito mais natural dois carinhos se procuram. Minha vida, nossas vidas formam um só diamante. Aprendi novas palavras e tornei outras mais belas. Eu preparo uma canção que faça acordar os homens e adormecer as crianças. 50 CINQÜENTA CRUZADOS NOVOS (Translation: 50 I prepare a song / in which my mother recognizes herself, all mothers recognize each other, / and speak like two eyes. Way down a street / that happens in many countries. If they don't see me, I see / and greet old friends. I distribute a secret / like someone who loves or smiles. In the most natural way / two cuddles are looking for each other. My life, our lives / form a single diamond. I learned new words / and made others more beautiful. I prepare a song / that makes men wake up / and put the kids to sleep. 50 Fifty Cruzados Novos) |
